Formally verified ed25519 (anza-xyz solana-ed25519): field + complete Edwards addition law proven in Lean 4 via Charon/Aeneas; axiom-audited certificates

mrwulf 984d82a7d7 Merged gen: one CurveField universe (field + curve + scalar), both buttons green
Same architecture as the dalek/risc0/betrusted forks: the Scalar52
arithmetic start-froms (11 fns) plus scalar::from_bytes_mod_order[_wide]
join the CurveField extraction, so the field, curve, and scalar layers
share a single type universe - the prerequisite for the signature apex,
whose verify glue must see curve AND scalar calls resolve to proven
definitions by fully-qualified name.

Proofs/ScalarDenote.lean flips its import CurveScalar.Funs ->
CurveField.Funs (one line; the whole scalar proof chain recompiles
unchanged on the merged gen). check-scalar.sh repoints its GEN list.
gen/CurveScalar retained until the deprecation pass, as on the siblings.

check.sh + check-scalar.sh both green, all certificates axiom-clean.

anza-ed25519-verified

Formal verification of the ed25519 implementation in anza-xyz/cryptography (Solana, solana-ed25519 crate), built as a coherent proof pyramid in Lean 4 via the Charon/Aeneas transpilation pipeline:

        ┌──────────────────────────────┐
        │  Signature (EdDSA verify)    │   accepted ⇒ [8][S]B = [8]R + [8][k]A
        ├──────────────────────────────┤
        │  Scalar arithmetic mod      │   Scalar52 ops correct mod 
        ├──────────────────────────────┤
        │  Group law (twisted Edwards) │   point ops = complete addition law
        ├──────────────────────────────┤
        │  Field 𝔽_p, p = 2²⁵⁵  19    │   FieldElement51 ops correct mod p
        └──────────────────────────────┘

Every layer states its theorems about the actual Aeneas-transpiled Rust code (never about a hand-written re-model), and every claim in the status table below is backed by a compiled proof plus an axiom audit of the named certificate. Files that do not compile under verification/check.sh are not in this repository.

Layer status

Layer Certificate Status Axioms of certificate
Field 𝔽_p fieldImplementation proven [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]
Group law (Edwards) edwardsImplementation proven [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]
Scalar mod scalarImplementation (add sub mul ) proven [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]
Signature (EdDSA) verifyEquation (planned) planned

Status legend: proven & axiom-audited · in progress · not started. This table is updated only when verification/check.sh passes for the layer.

Source

  • Upstream: anza-xyz/cryptography, commit 0a54cca
  • Pinned/patched source: saymrwulf/anza-cryptography-source, commit 77043ab
  • Patches: minimal Aeneas-compatibility only (documented in the source repo)
  • Closest relative of the reference solution (same crate layout as solana-ed25519).

Toolchain (pinned)

Component Version
Aeneas bf13c42e
Charon 9dd7f23c
Lean v4.30.0-rc2
OCaml 5.3.0

Reproducing

source ~/aeneas-toolchain/env.sh
cd verification
./extract.sh    # Rust → LLBC → Lean (regenerates gen/)
./check.sh      # compiles EVERY shipped file + axiom-audits EVERY certificate

The scalar layer has its own pair of buttons:

./extract-scalar.sh   # regenerates gen/CurveScalar (Scalar52 limb arithmetic)
./check-scalar.sh     # compiles the scalar gen + the proven scalar foundation

Trusted base

See TRUSTED-BASE.md for the complete list of assumptions (Lean kernel, mathlib, Charon/Aeneas semantics, external-function models, and — in the signature layer only — an opaque SHA-512 model).

Provenance

Proof engineering in this repository builds on the verification methodology and proof architecture of PlanetMacro/ed25519-verificationtest (the reference solution). All proofs here are checked against this fork's own extracted code; nothing is claimed that the check script does not compile.
